Federal Government: Canada

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney Dept: Quicker than you can say status update, the federal government hopes to launch a raid of Silicon Valley and lure techno wizards up to Canada with its new start-up visa program that begins April 1, according to CTV. It's an idea that's been floating around in the high-tech industry for quite awhile, Kenney told 's Power Play host Don Martin and it's no April Fool's Day joke. The payoff? Foreign entrepreneurs start a company in Canada, create innovation, jobs, wealth and new exports for this country, according to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
